I love my bike—the only problem is that when I shift into the hardest gear while going uphill or something like that, the chain skips a tooth or feels like it's about to come off, and I don't like that.

This Bike Rocks!!

Best bike I’ve owned, hands down!! I really like how smooth you can change gears on the trails

Great Beginner's Bike

11yr old son. This bike is excellent for my son who is spending a lot more time outdoors. The bike rides well and is sturdy.

Great Quality Bike

Bought this for my 9th grade son-he loves it-it was a perfect gift!

Goid Bike But Came With Manufacturer Flaw

I bought this bike and it was great till the handle bars went one way other than front. Bearing broke on fork as well as thread for bolt. Was told it was a manufacturers flaw.

Beautiful Bike

After using and abusing an incredible GMC bike for a few years, I needed something that was more lightweight and wanted something will a sleeker look. Very minimalist vibe, without taking away from the quality of the bike. Rides very nicely but definitely suggest getting a seat cover for it gets pretty uncomfy quickly.

Great Bike But Didn't Get Certain Parts As Advertised.

I purchased this bike as a beginner rider. After reading reviews and watching videos about this bike i decided to make my purchase. After i got it home and riding it for a week or so i started getting familiar with all the parts of the bike. I have just noticed the derailer on the bike is not the one that was advertised. It is supposed to have the microshift acolyte derailer with a springlock clutch mechanism that uses an allen key and switch to activate the clutch. Which for a budget derailer is highly regarded. The one that i got only has a switch to engage the clutch lock which seems inferior as i have has chain derailment issues even when the clutch is locked into place. I just wish i got what was advertised and feel as though i should have gotten what was advertised.

Just What We Needed!

Bought 4 of these bikes during a great sale. Fantastic value, solid components, stylish and everyone is enjoying them.

Happy

I am happy with my bike purchase. Smooth ride and gears shift easily.

Entry Level Worth Upgrading

The Switchback Expert has better frame geometry compared to a Trek Marlin. Up grading the heavy coil spring fork is not a problem with the tapered head tube to a light weight air spring fork will shave 5 lbs. off the bike. The rear wheel hub is a 141mm qr .is a limiting factor. No through axel. You can up grade to a 11 speed on the stock rear wheel. a new rear wheel with a Shimano wh-mt500 hub with microsline free wheel will get you 12 speed. The bike is light and fast and fun to ride. Sale price of $550 is hard to beat.

So Far So Good

We have only taken the bike on one bike ride, but so far so good

Great Entry Level

Great entry level bike. Whether you’re looking to get started or need an extra bike on a budget this is a great pick.

Great Quality Joy To Ride

First mountain bike from somewhere other than Walmart. Rides smooth and handles great

Bad Experience

I bought my bike a week ago, today was the 2nd time i rode it. All was normal when suddenly the rear break broke and i fell down really hard. Im unhappy and very dissapointed because it shouldn't happen, ITS A BRAND NEW BIKE! IM REALLY DISAGREE WITH

Style And Functionality

This bike is amazing. It was super easy to assemble with the instructions. The bike is stylish and sleek and rides so smoothly!! The wheels are thick and great for most terrain. I haven’t had any issues with it this far. Get yourself one!
